Penny Trick

一便士的小把戏

After tucking their three-year-old child Sammy in for bed one night, his parents heard sobbing¹ coming from his room.

某晚，在把三岁宝宝山米放到床上后，他的父母听到啜泣声从他的房间传来。

Rushing back in, they found him crying hysterically². He managed to tell them that he had swallowed a penny and he was sure he was going to die. No amount of talking was helping³.

冲进屋内后，他们看见他正嚎啕大哭着。他成功告诉他们他吞下了一便士一定活不成了。说什么都无济于事。

His father, in an attempt to calm him down, palmed a penny from his pocket and pretended to pull it from Sammy's ear. Sammy was delighted.

他的父亲，试图让他冷静下来。他从口袋中掏出一便士，在山米的耳边假装要把它拿过来。山米很开心。

In a flash, he snatched it from his father's hand, swallowed, and then cheerfully demanded, "Do it again, Dad!"

山米以迅雷不及掩耳盗铃之将钱从父亲手中夺过，吞下，然后高兴的要求道：“再来一遍，爸爸！”
